blowing up a bridge to deter troops advance. The terrorists were not
lucky as they died in their encounter with troops. The troops are
continuing with the cordon and search of the town and environs after
overpowering the terrorists. A lot of arms have been recovered in
the process. Troops are also dismantling the terrorists group’s
flags hoisted in the towns.
